Peter Cottontail Coconut Cupcakes

I’m not one to take the cutesy, themed approach to the holidays, but when Wilton and Peeps sent me their Easter collaboration, well I mean how could I resist those ears?! So for this holiday, and because no one can say no to a Peep or Wilton’s amazing goodness I give you the most amazing of Easter Cupcakes. The Peter Cottontail Coconut Cupcake. A combination of chocolate, toasted coconut, sweet vanilla frosting, and bunny ears. Happy Easter Loves. truly, MKR

Bake 12-18 minutes. **I insert a toothpick in the center of the cupcake to check if cupcakes are done, toothpick should come out clean with a few crumbs attached.** Once baked transfer to wire rack and let completely cool.

While cupcakes are baking spread the coconut over a cookie sheet and set to broil for 3-5 minutes. Coconut will toast quickly so keep an eye on it and stir once or twice. Cook until golden brown.

Once cupcakes are cooled frost liberally with Wilton Read to Decorate icing.

Dip into toasted coconut and mold to make a round dome. Add additional coconut till icing is completely covered.

Add Peep ears and an additional cupcake cup for appeal.
